Mercy West Lakes Birthing Services offers low-risk moms an alternative location for their full-term baby's arrival. Mercy West Lakes features ten private labor, delivery, recovery and post-partum (LDRP) suites that blend warmth and comfort of a home-like setting. The technology and equipment your doctor and nurses need is in the suite, and is neatly tucked away out of sight when not in use.  

At Mercy West Lakes, the entire birthing process and recovery take place in the same room. Without having to move between rooms, you will enjoy a pleasant, private birth experience. In the event
that you’d required a C-section delivery, we’re prepared with a dedicated cesarean surgical suite to welcome your little one into the world. We offer a variety of pain relief methods, including anesthesia services and epidurals to help you feel more at ease.

A nurse practitioner or a pediatric resident is present during every delivery to assist your doctor and care for your new baby. In the unlikely event that your baby needs additional care, the nurse practitioner or pediatric resident will treat and stabilize him or her until the Mercy neonatal transport team arrives from Mercy's Central Campus. If your baby should be transferred to the Mercy Variety Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, we will arrange for you to be transferred to the Mother/Baby Unit located on Mercy's Central Campus.

Each sun-lit suite at Mercy West Lakes includes state-of-the-art technology and amenities such as: 

• Flat panel television with DVD/CD players (movies on demand are available)
• Accommodations for support person
• Dining area
• Wireless Internet
• Air-jet tub
• Room service for all meals
• GetWell Network for online patient education
• Telemetry fetal monitoring which allows you to be moving around or in the air-jet tub during labor

We realize that sometimes moms need time to themselves to rest and recuperate and the newborn nursery will be available for your little one 24-hours a day.
